Shanghai Electric recently was entrusted by Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical with its Phase II seawater desalinization pretreatment project with a daily capacity of 960,000 tons following its Phase I project that processes 200,000 tons of seawater through thermal desalination every day.

Phase II project involves both thermal and membrane desalination. Shanghai Electric's processing technology through large horizontal sand filters will make its debut in membrane desalination pretreatment.
